Longo Borghini turned professional in 2011, joining the Top Girls Fassa Bortolo team. In 2012, she rode in the road race at the 2012 UCI Road World Championships in Valkenburg, where she won the bronze medal.[10][11]

In 2013, she won her first major title at the Trofeo Alfredo Binda-Comune di Cittiglio.[12] In 2014, she won her first national championship by winning the time trial.

On 30 September 2014 it was announced she would ride for Wiggle–Honda in the 2015 season.[13]

In 2015, she won her first cycling monument, winning the Tour of Flanders.[8] In 2016, she won a bronze medal at the individual road race at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.[4] She won the national time trial championship for the second time.

In 2017, she won Strade Bianche Women and finished 2nd at the Giro Rosa, as well as winning the Italian rider classification for the third time.[14][15] She also became national time trial champion for the third time, winning the road race as well.

Trek–Segafredo

[edit]

In August 2018 Longo Borghini confirmed that she would be joining the new Trek–Segafredo team for 2019, after the Wiggle team had announced their demise.[16]

In 2020, she became the Italian national champion after winning both the road race and time trial at the national championships. She finished 3rd at the Giro Rosa, winning the Italian rider classification for the sixth time.[17] She also rode in the road race at the 2020 UCI Road World Championships in Imola, where she won the bronze medal.[18]

In 2021, she won Trofeo Alfredo Binda for the second time,[19] with two 3rd places at Paris–Roubaix Femmes and Liège–Bastogne–Liège Femmes.[20][21] In July 2021, she competed in the 137-kilometre (85-mile)-long women's Olympic road race in Tokyo, and won the bronze medal.[22] She followed an attack by Annemiek van Vleuten with 2.1 kilometres (1.3 miles) to go, with Van Vleuten securing second place and Longo Borghini securing third place.[22] She also won the road race and time trial at the national championships for the second year in a row. She also rode in the mixed team relay at the 2021 UCI Road World Championships in Flanders, where she won the bronze medal.

In 2022, she won her second cycling monument, winning Paris–Roubaix Femmes.[9] In July 2022, she was named as one of the pre-race favourites for the first edition of the Tour de France Femmes.[23] She ultimately finished the race in sixth place overall.[24] She then won The Women's Tour by just one second,[25] as well as winning the time trial at the national championships for the third year in a row. She rode in the mixed team relay at the 2022 UCI Road World Championships in Wollongong, where she won the silver medal.

In 2023, Longo Borghini won the UAE Tour Women at the start of the year.[26] In the Giro Donne, she was considered a favourite prior to the race.[27] However, she crashed out of the race on stage 5 while 2nd overall.[28] The Trek–Segafredo team rebranded as Lidl–Trek prior to the Tour de France Femmes, where once again she was considered a favourite. However she withdrew from the race before stage 7 due to illness while 4th overall.[29]

In July 2024, Longo Borghini become the first home winner of the Women's Giro d'Italia since 2008. [30][31] In August, she skipped Tour de France Femmes due to the lingering effects of a training crash.[32]

Personal life

[edit]

She is the daughter of cross country skier Guidina Dal Sasso. Her older brother Paolo Longo Borghini also competed professionally as a cyclist,[11] between 2004 and 2014. In 2023 she married [33] fellow cyclist Jacopo Mosca, who rides for the men's Lidl–Trek team.[34] Elisa is known for her humorous, friendly and lively personality commenting on her favorite win, (2013 Trofeo Alfredo Binda), Elisa recalled "After such a foul day on the bike in bleak condition, I remember that we went to a restaurant and we ate two pizzas. I mean, I ate two pizzas,” she says with a laugh. "It was because I was so hungry and my parents were so happy and they were like 'okay, we just eat whatever we want'.[35]
